I am wanting to do colored plexiglass panels as a decorative fence. Perhaps some clear and some colored. We could paint on them and personalize it. Need 18 to 30 feet, 5 ft tall. Any suggestions. I need to mount it somehow. It does not hold pets, or have a privacy issue so we are flexible on design. I haven't done this type deal on the internet much so this is an experiment
